Red Mansion Rebirth: Ghost Phoenix

Wang Xifeng laughed, "My children are really good and considerate. The other day I was joking with the Empress, saying that she didn't raise her son as well as I did my daughter.

"I want to see you and Sister Ke, so I can just find an excuse to go to the side hall.

"But the Queen misses you, so she can only wait in the room, not daring to take a single step into the front hall.

"Now that the Queen has sprained her ankle, I can take a day off to accompany her. This is such filial piety. It shows that I said something wrong that day!"

Although these words were spoken in a flattering manner towards Tao Ge'er, who could not understand the meaning behind them?

Even Queen Mo couldn't help but look at her son with some grievance.

Tao Ge'er thought about it, and indeed showed a trace of shame. He immediately stood up and knelt beside Queen Mo, whispering:

"Does the Queen Mother look forward to my return every day?"

Queen Mo's nose felt sore, and her eyes were immediately misty. She reached out and stroked his little face, and said softly:

"Although mother does miss you very much, studying is the most important thing in your life. Mother does not want to delay your studies.

"You must study hard and carefully study the questions your father has given you, so that you can do what a prince should do in the future."

Tao Ge'er nodded with emotion, but when he heard the last sentence, he blinked and suddenly asked curiously:

"What should a prince do? I think that Uncle Yong and Uncle Su are just like court officials, just doing their job!"

Queen Mo was speechless.

Wang Xifeng smiled and said, "It's no use asking the Queen Mother or us. We are all women, and we can only teach the princess what to do.

"You should ask His Majesty in person what the prince should do. Let him teach you!"

Empress Mo smiled brightly: "That's exactly what you said! You should ask your father these questions!"

Wang Xifeng deliberately looked outside and said seriously, "Look at the sky, the emperor may have already dismissed the court.

"Otherwise, brother, take your sister and go ask your father what he hopes you, the prince, and He Ke, the princess, will do when they grow up.

"After you find out, bring your sister back and tell us, okay?"

Tao Ge'er had long wanted to visit Emperor Chongzhao's office, but Lin Ruhai did not allow him to go to the Purple Palace easily.

When he heard that Wang Xifeng had found such a good excuse for him, he immediately jumped up excitedly, shouted "Okay" loudly, and ran away with He Ke.

Wang Xifeng and Queen Mo looked at their backs and laughed.

After the two children left, Wang Xifeng asked Empress Mo distressedly, "Is your Majesty okay? I didn't dare to ask in detail in front of Prince Duan, for fear that he would be frightened if he knew!"

Queen Mo's expression changed immediately, "It's fine. It's just that the little girl was crazy yesterday..."

Wang Xifeng showed a look of horror: "Have you found out what happened?"

"You don't know?" Queen Mo looked at her in surprise.

Wang Xifeng was puzzled: "Yesterday Chen Duo came to report that he had found out and let everyone go.

"But it was almost dusk, and I thought that Your Majesty didn't want to keep all the imperial edicts in the palace overnight, fearing that a bigger disturbance would arise outside.

“So when I went back home last night, I didn’t dare send anyone to inquire about the situation.

"No one came to tell me this morning, and everything was calm outside. So I guess they really found out.

"I think the emperor will tell you first once the matter has come to an end, so I am asking if you know the details..."

Seeing Wang Xifeng smiling a little embarrassedly, Empress Mo breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and called on Cai Lan:

"I feel short of breath right now. Come and tell the Imperial Concubine."

Wang Xifeng looked at Kai Lan with bright eyes and said, "Thank you for your help, young lady."

Gan Lan lowered his head and said he dared not, then he began to tell the situation that Emperor Chongzhao had sent someone to report.

As expected, all the blame was put on the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo, and even the relationship between the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo and the former wife of the king was exposed.

Wang Xifeng felt ashamed when she heard this. She got up from her seat and knelt down in front of Empress Mo's bed: "It's all because of me..."

"What does it have to do with you!" Queen Mo hurriedly ordered Gan Lan to help her up, "They just think that you don't listen to them and refuse to be their accomplice in the palace, so they want to harm you!

"And since they said they wanted to harm you, but they only targeted me and Concubine Rong, this doesn't make sense!

"In the final analysis, this matter is caused by those people who have ulterior motives and are planning to harm the heir to the throne!

"I have sent someone to report to His Majesty. I will not forgive any of them and will make them pay according to the law!"

forgive?

Wang Xifeng was stunned for a moment, then she thought about it and asked hurriedly, "Has anyone come to the palace to plead guilty and beg for mercy?"

"That's right! Prince Kang brought his children and grandchildren and his eldest daughter-in-law into the palace early in the morning to turn himself in, and by the way, he wanted to divorce the Crown Prince's Consort!"

Queen Mo snorted.

Wang Xifeng also snorted, "What were you doing earlier? Why are you being so pretentious now?

"I'm afraid his eldest grandson is still crying and hugging his mother, crying and calling her mother, saying that his son's unfilial behavior cannot make up for the crime of treason, etc."

Empress Mo clapped her hands: "You guessed it! The emperor was moved with sympathy at the time and sent someone in to ask me, but I argued back!"

Wang Xifeng looked at her angry look and couldn't help laughing. She came closer and whispered, "Your Highness is right!

"They came to the emperor and acted out this deep mother-son love. Isn't this a clear reminder to your majesty that our Tao Ge'er almost lost his mother, and the baby in Rong Fei's belly almost died?

"This is so stupid! The Emperor must not want to grant amnesty!"

Queen Mo also nodded: "Yes!"

The two of them whispered a few more words and agreed to share what they had. Then Wang Xifeng stood up and left, smiling and asking:

"Early in the morning, Sang and Shi came to me, crying and trying to drag me over to apologize to you.

"I asked them to come over first, but are they disturbing the queen?"

"They are really sincere and frightened." Although Queen Mo sighed, her eyebrows and eyes were full of pride, "I thought about it and thought it would be better to leave the Wangxiantai empty.

"You can find a suitable palace and let them move there!"

Wang Xifeng hesitated for a moment and whispered, "I have asked them, and they knew that Chenghuan Palace was originally prepared for Concubine De, so they dared not live there.

"Qingsiyuan and Lingqidian are too close to Concubine De. If the emperor goes there in the future, I'm afraid Concubine De will teach him a lesson the next day...

"The two children were so frightened that they were shaking, but they still insisted that they were not afraid and did not need to move!"

Empress Mo thought for a moment and said, "There is a Chang'an Palace to the north of Linde Palace, which is a little further away. If the two of them are not afraid, you can help them clean it up."

Wang Xifeng bowed her head, accepted the assignment, and then said goodbye.

Watching her leave, Gan Lan couldn't help but whisper, "I saw her yesterday, she was so domineering in front of His Majesty! The Emperor indulged her!"

The queen glanced at her and said, “Now, inside and outside the palace, she has put so much effort into setting up a trap, just hoping that I will fight with her.

"What? The matter has finally passed, but you still want to make me do something stupid. Are you really starting to doubt her?

"I tell you, the more they want us to fall out, the more I want to get along with her and have a good relationship with her!"
